Chimera Collection
Introducing Chimera: fine jewelry with a surrealist mood exploring the transformation of self through adornment and costume. Crafted in gleaming 18k gold and inspired by the transformational art and visions of Claude Cahun and Leonor Fini, Chimera explores the idea of multiple unique selves within the same body. In mythology, chimeras were hybrid creatures like the sphinx which bridged the conscious and subconscious worlds. Bridging these worlds and incorporating them as core to one's sense of self was a key theme in the art of Cahun and Fini and this collection serves as a tribute to the voice and visions of these artists who often used their bodies to express beautifully mutable identity.
